Then one day, some goof decided to make him more "normal", whatever the hell that is, but it really did a lot of damage to the character and caused a cascade that dropped Marvel's sales for years.
There were several attempts to make the character part of some animated shows but they never pulled it off.
To me, the best think about Logan was the complete lack of an origin, it was guesswork, hints, teases, and a lot of crazy rumors. There were stories about him in a photo during the War Between the States and his flashbacks to something resembling Feudal Japan, then there are the connections he has around the world that couldn't possibly be made in a regular human lifetime.
The origin they gave him was, and still is, absolutely terrible, in fact, putting it into movie form only showed how bad it is, let's hope that Kevin Feige goes back to the classic Wolverine that made "the little guy" the biggest in the Marvel Universe.
With Wolverine, the only thing you knew, was that you never knew, and that was what made his stories so damn good. In ways, he was like the Batman, he would pull off stunts against the Hellfire Club and miraculous returns from the dead or four...
Why "fix" something that wasn't broken? Not sure why Marvel ever went for it, it made zero sense, and today makes even less. It's the most outrageous parts of the MCU that are the best, and the best has yet to come, we hope....
Coming up, January 1st 2022, my ULTIMATE MCU list....
